Why "Inverspace"?
Well, having come late to the blog party it was tough work trying to find an original name and url. All of the good ones and a lot of not so good ones were taken. Then I thought of inverspace. The term is from "Deeper Than the Darkness" an excellent Harlan Ellison story that I read many years ago. In the story, inverspace is a faster than light shortcut through normal space that is used for interplanetary travel. Ellison describes it as sort of a topsy-turvy abomination compared to our normal space. So much so, that the characters in the story can hardly bear to look out of the ship's portholes. I'm not sure, but I think he may have used the term in some other stories as well. It also seemed like a fair description of my own "inner space" so to speak. As you will soon see, my mind is a terrible thing.
